Configuration Manager

Where You'll Make an Impact

• Process Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), and Change Orders (COs) end-to-end — intake, classification, impact assessment routing, and tracking through approval and release.
• Own release of controlled documents and drawings for flight and ground systems — verifying completeness, correct revision status, and proper markings prior to release.
• Maintain configuration status accounting: baseline records, revision history, and open/closed change status across the configuration item structure.
• Career Control Boards (CCBs) — prepare agendas and change packages, capture minutes, and track action items to closure.
• Administer configuration management workflows in Windchill/PLM tooling, keeping lifecycle states and metadata aligned with the Configuration Management Plan (CMP).
• Apply correct CUI and export control (ITAR/EAR) markings to controlled technical data in accordance with contract and program requirements.
• Partner closely with systems engineering, I&T, manufacturing, and software teams to keep change processing moving quickly without sacrificing control.
• Support flight readiness reviews, test readiness reviews, and configuration audits with accurate baseline and change records.

What It Takes

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3–6 years of experience in configuration management, document control, or engineering data management within aerospace or complex hardware programs.
• Working knowledge of change control processes (ECR/ECN/CO) and configuration status accounting.
• Hands-on experience with a PLM/document control tool (Windchill strongly preferred).
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, bills of material, and technical baselines.
• Exceptional attention to detail and comfort operating within formal, auditable processes.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, including release notices and status reporting.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance.

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting flight programs through launch and on-orbit operations.
• Familiarity with configuration management and documentation standards (e.g., EIA-649C, ASME Y14.100, MIL-STD-100, or DoD/NASA equivalents).
• Experience with ICD processes and multi-stakeholder distribution.
• Familiarity with CUI, ITAR, and/or EAR marking requirements for controlled technical data.
• Hands-on exposure to spacecraft manufacturing, integration, or test environments.
• Experience working in small, fast-paced spacecraft or advanced hardware startups.
